>>7515104Sup fellow ex1:18fag. These have been a nice replacement for gi joes, so I know where youre coming from. Check the discount stores, ross, 5below, tuesday morning, Gabes, big lots, dollar general, DDs, etc. They tend to get goodies in. If you have a HEB plus, or meijers, that they tend to carry toy products, good chance youll find something there. Walmart for new heroes and cod, target for halo.

This definitely ended up being bigger than I expected. I started with the feet first and built up. Mostly aspect of glass parts with joints stolen from a grunt battlesuit. I wish I had more pieces to build actual hands

I live in a very scalper-heavy area so I thought there was no way I would ever nab one of these. But today it happened, tucked away in a corner of Ross. I actually debated buying it for a minute cause the box was much bigger and heavier than I had expected, and I'm really short on space in my apartment. But whatever, fuck it, I bought it and I feel a strange mix of fear and excitement for the build.

Despite how incredible this upcoming heroes wave is, Im especially excited for the Fox Mulder figure. The suited body is a particularly great add on to the mega library of figure parts , and as a result so much more can be made with it. I'm hoping to pick up multiples of Mulder to make the green hornet (kirk head) and kato (sulu head) among other things.

>>7518597>Dont be discouraged by the doomers. Freebuild whenever you can and your mocs will one day wow everyone.Indeed, so if u really want to improve keep this or a photo of this moc as a reminder where you are now. practice, look at other mocs for inspiration. never give into yourself never mind others, if you want to be better u have to work at it

BBTS had been mum about whether they are stocking these. I DO NOT want to buy a frigging case. both for spae and money reasons and I don't want to spend my time selling off (along with packaging and mailing) what I don't want from said case.

>>7519698>fuck Horseback Assault is expensive.ik, amazon ca is notorious for having scalper prices, i was surprised the new black ops cod figs were made available now, I spent $ on the amazon us cause I wasnt sure id get this on ca site.

>>7519701 I am holding out for another price drop of the ship at TRU CA. $40-$45 would mean about ten bucks each for the figures. (although Mega manning up and selling them as a pack for $35 Can or so would make me happier.

>>7521688I love a good deal as much as anyone else, but I think I'm gonna buy Greyskull at retail. It's a high-cost, high-risk set for Mega and I want to do my part in ensuring that they live on and continue to bring us good things.

Not sure where they're getting them all from, but I swear the liquidation centre has an endless supply of these Terminator troop packs. The pile was about half the size last time I visited over a month ago.

>>7521903On another note for my fellow Canooks, I found a CoD "Enemy Soldiers" troop pack at Walmart yesterday, right when I'd given up hope of ever seeing them in person here in Alberta. They had also restocked Halo Heroes 8, got to complete the set.

>>7521903Now that I've had my first taste of the endoskeleton mold and know how awesome it is, I would definitely buy like two dozen of these and have a little army. I wish we got these in my area instead of endless Monster High sets (with great figs but janky brick selection/colors) and movie TMNT stuff.

>buy the aspect of glass set>the huntress have fucked feet and I cant make her stand on the pegs>ask for a replacement>finally is here>the arms and elbow joints are completely fucked>merge the pieces and end with a working huntressty mega

>>7523230The newer Cyclops build wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so finicky and easy to pull apart. It makes play and posing such a pain. I wish mega would utilize the balljoints present on krang and some of the Pokemon sets more often, those actually feel secure .

>>7523230there are mega xenos to fight, if you can find them>>7523554battle damage! strewn corpses!>>7523883nice. I'd been eyeing the wood panels for quick hallways inside another build. Container users: do they integrate with bricks well, or are they difficult and how?

>>7525435A girl's line counterpart to Breakout Beasts, involving winged unicorns and deer and such. And if you REALLY haven't been here in a long while, Breakout Beasts are dragons, griffons, etc. swimming in a puddle of slime, all contained within a blindbox-style plastic egg. They're pretty fun.

>>7525544It has elbows, just not conventional hinge ones. At first I thought they had swivels at the elbow, but they're actually balljoints--balljoints with a surprisingly decent range. I've had no real problems posing mine. They work fine for what they are.

>>7525457amazon lists may/june for those and for the breakout fusion beast.imagine how much a boost Mega would have gotten if they could have put them in stores for Easter! jesus, mcx, way to fuck that one up.>>7525587I'd buy a couple aliens and a scareglow or two from you.

>>7525895Huh, y'know, actually, you're right. I dug out my Endos to make sure, and their elbows are actually just plain pegs. Turns out what I thought was a balljoint was just me accidentally popping the peg out slightly and moving it around. For what it's worth, it's stable and solid enough that I legitimately thought it was a balljoint, and the upper arm has enough play in the socket to allow decent range of motion. The end of the peg is sorta rounded so it feels a bit like a ball.

Give it a try maybe, I've noticed no changes or looseness in my endo arms, and using this bit of additional range has allowed me to suggest straight arms or slightly bent ones. It really does help with posing.

>>7526605>I don’t get the belt on Seraph and the guy with glasses, thoughIm not sure on all the names of the COD characters. the belt on the black guy is very loose and not secured on, it might be better fitted just as or across the chest

>>7526563>Waiting for 2 sets of the COD Seals Vs. Submarinersand I'll be getting a few sets of these guys...over the moon when mega released images of these new sets earlier this year, im curious to see if they are going to continue the trend with these sets and how

>>7524864>>7524862I was dreading this. Not happy about this at all. But it's okay cause im guessing all heads now will have holes. as long as they all follow the same trend. like i dont fuck with the halo hands compared to destiny/cod hands

This figure is almost perfect... But I just don't understand why they would put normal elbows on it?? It's Soo articulated for it's size but only has a left and right swivel.. same thing with Fry from Futurama.. why did they give him stationary legs..

>>7527399The whole Terminator line feels more ambitious than it was allowed to be. The heads are clearly in a CoD scale, and they're using the same slot-based system for accessories, but they're put on the smaller bodies. It feels like maybe they had to cut corners due to the budget and elbows had to go. It's a shame, but I find you can usually still get a good range of motion and expression from them.

>>7527399see>>7525905It works and you can get some poseability out of them this way. It mostly amounts to straightening or slightly bending the arm, but it can really help with certain gun and sword poses.

I've known about the canceled marvel figures and the canceled generator Rex lines, but I was never aware that mega was going to make sets based on max steel. Granted I have no interest in that IP, any new mega figures would have been welcomed additions regardless.https://youtu.be/rjPmKRtJC-U

>>7529633Here’s some pointers to get inti Mega:1. Distribution is shit2. If you see a set, buy it. You may never see it again.3. There’s no release schedule.4. There’s no release information or marketing at all. Most of the releases we know because of amazon listings. Every once in a while Mega will promote something, but it’s rare.5. We usually learn stuff has been released because it start showing up in stores.6. Mega is a slippery slope. It really is one of the beat toylines ever made. 7. Distribution is shit. It really is.

Other than that, welcome anon! Ask any questions you have and we’re happy to help you!

I got an assassin and Helboy in the Real Canadian Superstore on Steeles in Toronto. There were a couple of Hellboys and a bunch of Kirks, Fry's and Benders. They also had 4 wave 2 eggs. Somebody had tried to pry the Hellboy I got open but obviously failed. If you are in the area they will probs be around for at least a day or two.

I kid, I kid. It’s weird how Destiny seems to be dead, but it’s still up in their website. Some sets were absolutely not worth it, though. The ships had zero play value, and everything else was slightly more expensive than their Halo or CoD counterparts.

>>7529846>everything else was slightly more expensive than their Halo or CoD counterparts.I wouldn't be surprised if activision is the reason why everything was so overpriced like the fucking Ghail, 40 dorrars for a shitty construct and 5 toys (not even the minis they advertised).

>>7529856>Good shit.Very nice! I missed the boat when these first came out. Will be a line I will be keeping an eye on in the secondary market, prices pending!>>7529846>It’s weird how Destiny seems to be dead,I started off buying Destiny BEFORE i saw what and how they did the COD and was hooked. I am not a big Halo or Destiny fan but i dont regret getting that first batch, mainly because of the customizing options which is one of the the main usp for this toy>>7529727>Other than that, welcome anon! Ask any questions you have and we’re happy to help you!Indeed, this is a pretty good thread here on 4chan and one thing I'll add to this is keep any eye on new releases and put together a wish list & alerts on amazon. if ur in north america, the us site tends to get more updated releases before can but as i discovered, its sometimes can be within a few weeks ie COD Black Ops 4 fig packs.If you really want to get stuff before the scalper prices kick in, get it sooner rather than later. The prices for some of the older sets are just fking insane and have been like that for years.

I could take a lot of wacky photos with my figures and these sets but they're too expensive.

>>7530051I always wanted that hammer, but it was exclusive.I really wanted the Destiny sunspot (or whatever) hammer too, but again exclusive.I'm looking forward to COD Torque.why do I have a thing for hammers?>>7530883seems to be the opposite of where Five Below and Dollar General are.

>>7531179>>7532207I mean, if you really look at it you can tell it's oversized, but at a glance, it works for me. Mega has kind of a pseudo-SD style going on so the occasional oversized accessory doesn't really make me bat an eye.

Plus, this looks like a good satisfying hammer for bashing a bloke's noggin. The one in >>7533123 looks sorta comical when used in that way, kinda like that little hammer the doctor hits your knee with during an exam.

>>7534084Although there isn't any kind of official release schedule, Mega does put out customizer packs on the regular. These two sets are the most recent, there's some last-year sets still floating around too.

>>7534356>Anybody have the probuilder space rover? I saw it on clearance today but I am undecided if it's worth it>>7534406>100% worth it, even more on discountDefinitely. Had I waited until now I would have ordered 2 @ the discount prices

>>7529802No clue, I had just found out about it then. Looking around online, I haven't found any other info on Max Steel MCX stuff, so I can only assume it was in the works at some point before they axed it off due to max steel's failure.

>>7534111Yeah, I would of bought 3x of those if I was collecting when it was out.>>7534113I bought 2x black and one green. Need more green. Green and black combine well.>>7534230Yeah, I will hit Dollar stores as I head into work!

I got team Rhino which was awesome! I am waiting for this 4 pack which I hope will have some spare bits.

>>7534573>>7534605I was underwhelmed by the WoW dragons; the breakout beasts are great for their size, but not much bigger.I'm hoping the GOT dragons are in scale with the minifigures, and brick builds (with lots of custom parts) would probably be best

>>7536099>Fallen WalkerI want to like that thing but I have big problems with how they shaped the nose and body, they're quite inaccurate and make a once-cool design look like shit. I have a feeling they could do a much better job if they tried again now, but we all know that's not gonna happen.

>>7536213>Kinda, yeah. A lot of other old Mega figures have that bobblehead look too, like the Halo ones for example. They really improved the proportions over time.cool but are they good for head swaps? ie are the connections good? if it is then i think only the larger sized destiny figs would make sense

>>7536269>The peg size is the same, yeah. Some heads work better than others, though the Hulk and Abomination heads are particularly large.Thanks for that....btw custom looks like a megabloks kid doing a cosplay of wolvie lol

>>7536723With the amount of input and attention you have from them, can you pitch them some ideas? I'm so hungry for more mega tmnt I will happily take Fred wolf repaints of the comic Casey and a minor retools of the turtles so we could get characters like metal head and slash.

>>7536807Alternative option, pop the abomination head onto one of the bigger brick built Pokémon bodies and post results. Something tells me the girth of Mr.Mime's body would suit the mass of Abom's head, you'd have to custom build some decent arms and legs though.

Can someone explain to me why in God's name Halo Hero's series 5 master chief is selling for over $100??This floored me. I never thought I'd see a single mega blocks figure reach these prices. I know the tmnt figures are going up. Are there a lot of single figures that sell for this much?

>>7537933I'm surprised the retailers aren't throwing bitch tantrums over "hell" on the cards. Remember when the first movie came out and theaters were calling it "Helloboy" to avoid offending the republican godboys and Mezco had to go with "HB" to get it into normal retail venues?

>>7538247Grunts are probably my favorite updated mold. The old ones were so shit, and the new ones are amazing. A few more joints here and there would have made them perfect, but I'm still really happy with what we got.

>>7538730Yeah the new grunt mold is fantastic, and it's actually not that much bigger than the old mold, so they still scale well. Plus, swappable armor is another plus. Their hands kinda suck though; the one I got from Battle for the Ark can't even hold his own weapon properly.
